LAMINATES
THE
REVOLUTIONARY
FUSION OF PLASTIC
FXSHEETING TM
ALSA IN COOPERATION WITH
AND METAL
LOOKS LIKE METAL
HANDLES LIKE PAPER!
(self adhesive)
FXSheeting TM represents the latest
technological breakthrough in laminates.
Now any object or surface can easily be
transformed into a brilliant metal finish. From
trendy brushed aluminum to classic coppers,
FXSheeting TM opens up a whole new world
of metallic creativity for all of your interior
design or product finishing projects.
The result of years of R&D in cooperation
with the General Electric Company,
FXSheeting TM is the only laminate available
in today's market that duplicates both the
look and the durability of real metal sheeting.
Yet unlike traditional sheets of rigid metal,
FXSheeting TM is easy to work with and does
not require special skills or tools to install. In
fact, using FXSheeting TM is similar to laying
down common contact paper. All that is
required to install this laminate is to simply
cut the amount needed to cover the surface,
peel off the paper backing to expose the
adhesive and then lay it down.
FXSheeting TM looks just like real metal
sheeting, because it does in fact, contain real
metal!
However, the thin layer of metal is protected
under crystal-clear LEXAN ® Poly-Carbonate
made by GE Plastics.
So the sheeting not only becomes flexible,
bendable and easy to cut, but it also remains
durable and resistant to stains and scratches.
The metal layer will also never lose its
brilliance or rust, as it is protected by the
LEXAN ® .
LEXAN ® is a registered trademark of General Electric Company.

CAPABILITIES & PROPERTIES OF FXSHEETING TM
.Flexibility: FXSheeting TM is lightweight and
flexible, allowing it to be easily wrapped
around edges or corners by hand. Unlike real
metal sheeting, no special creasing or tools
are needed to laminate even oddly shaped
objects or surfaces.
.Ease of Application: FXSheeting TM is only
10mil thick and can be cut with a pair of
ordinary scissors.
Applying it to surfaces
is simply a matter of
peeling off the backing
paper and laying it
down like traditional
contact paper.
FXSheeting TM is
applicable to any smooth substrate.
.Durability: LEXAN ® is an extremely durable
plastic that is shatter proof and highly
resistant to punctures,
tears and chemical
effects.
The LEXAN ® also
protects the metal
layer from rusting or
tarnishing.
While not "scratch
proof", FXSheeting TM is "scratch resistant"
and can confidently be used for horizontal
applications; such as shelves and counter
tops. However, caution is advised when using
FXSheeting TM for applications in which there
will be heavy exposure to activities that cause
scratches, such as counter tops used for
cutting or using it as a floor covering.

and a lint free rag.
.Brushed Versions: should be cleaned with
mild soap and water and a clean lint free rag.
Abrasive cleaners should never be used when
cleaning any type of FXSheeting TM .
HOW FXSHEETING TM IS MADE
FXSheeting TM is made from a new patented process that
molecularly bonds a thin layer of real metal to the "back"
of a sheet of LEXAN® Polycarbonate. Since the LEXAN®
is crystal clear, the metal is able to shine through
perfectly; yet it remains protected by the highly durable
and scratch-resistant LEXAN ® .
The metal layer is then backed by a strong acrylic-based
adhesive, which both protects the metal further and
allows the sheeting to be easily bonded to any surface,
in a similar manner
Two different types of LEXAN ® are used in creating
FXSheeting TM . HP92H LEXAN ® is used for creating Mirror
versions, while 8A37V LEXAN ® is used for creating
Brushed versions. Both types of LEXAN ® are 10 mil
thick, but the 8A37V LEXAN ® is made with a "brushed"
texture so the Brushed versions of FXSheeting TM not
only look like brushed metal, they also feel very similar.
The durable LEXAN ® Polycarbonates are made by General
Electric Plastics and are used in a wide range of industrial
product manufacturing from cell phones to automobiles.

that the chrome is “protected” by being
underneath a clear plastic sheet so there is no
chance of taking the chrome off due to impact.

CHAMELEON &
CHROME MATERIALS
ALSA CHROME LEATHERS TM are created using
our patented chroming process. It is this
process that allows us to create leathers that
are scratch proof, stretchable and come close
to a mirror like finish.
Most Mirror like leathers on the marketplace
today are created by laminating a shiny foil to
leather. This process creates a leather product
that is easily scratched, doesn't stretch, has
poor reflectivity and has tendency to crack or
delaminate.
Now as every industry looks to satisfy the
market demand for metallic finishes, the
toughness and high reflectivity of ALSA
CHROME LEATHERS TM will allow manufacturers
to create leather products with a chrome like
finish that they never thought possible
before.
CHROME LEATHERS TM can be pressed and
embossed with many patterns available.
Our CHROME LEATHERS TM can be custom
made for durability, performance,
thickness, width and are available in
a limitless array of colors.
